Closing Date: 15 March 2021
The Department of Biology at Syracuse University (SU) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor position to support ongoing interests in epigenetics, chromatin, and small RNA biology at SU. We seek applicants who utilize biochemical, genetic, and/or genomic approaches to address chromatin- and/or small RNA-based mechanisms of epigenetic regulation within a developmental context such as, but not limited to, stem cell biology, cell-signaling, or cellular differentiation.
The successful candidate will occupy space in the Life Sciences Complex, a new research facility designed to support collaborative research. This position is part of the epigenetics research focus at SU. The successful candidate is expected to develop an independent, extramurally funded research program and will be expected to interact effectively with colleagues in Biology as well as with colleagues from other departments at SU, SUNY-Upstate Medical University, and SUNY-College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The successful candidate will also be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses and develop new courses as appropriate to his/her expertise and the needs of the Department of Biology.
Competitive salary, start-up funds, and laboratory space will be provided. Candidates must have a PhD in any area of biology relevant to this search and productive postdoctoral research experience.
For full consideration applicants must complete an online application at www.sujobopps.com , (#028464) and attach the following documents.
